Etymology

The word 'bigot' originated in the late 16th century and was initially used to describe a superstitious religious hypocrite. Over time, its meaning evolved to refer to someone who is intolerant or prejudiced towards others. The term may have derived from the Old French word 'bigoterie' or 'by god,' suggesting excessive religious zeal. The history of 'bigot' reflects the negative consequences of rigid adherence to personal beliefs at the expense of tolerance and understanding.
